R.S.A. picket continues
. Picketers and the Canterbury Trades Council contijiue’d their vigil outside the Rangiora Returned Services Association Club over the long week-end in protest against the dismissal of Miss Carrie Crack, the club’s house manager.
A Trades Council ban has ensured that no beer or goods deliveries have been made to the club. A full council committee meeting will be held today to discuss the issue.
Picketers carrying placards remained outside the . club on Saturday and yesterday, and will continue their picket in rosters. The senior industrial officer of the Canterbury Hotelworkers’ Union (Mr A. Anderson) said' that the union wanted Miss Crack reinstated before it was prepared to meet the club com-
mittee to discuss the reasons for its actions. The club committee had given no reasons in its dismissal notice for its unanimous decision to fire Miss Crack. He believed that the club's beer would run out by Wednesday. The union was looking for support from other clubs and also local women’s groups, said Mr Anderson.
The union secretary (Mr G. Harding) asserted that the R.S.A. club committee was “waving, the rag” at the union by advertising for a replacement house manager.
